A little more about Mike Farrell

Just a quick mention of Mike's book -Just Call Me Mike-

Here's what one legal expert has to say about the book:

" Mike Farrell proves that ferocious conviction is the organizing principle of an extraordinary life. In his memoir, Just Call Me Mike, Mike describes the fantastic, sometimes painful, and ultimately redeeming journey that his conscience has led him on. Like his life, the book dances seamlessly between his great passions--from fond memories on the M*A*S*H set, to nervous moments at military checkpoints on his way to help refugees in war-torn Central America, to scrubbing-in to real-life surgery on a prisoner of war in El Salvador. In a disarmingly honest and gentle voice, Just Call Me Mike collects an extraordinary diversity of experiences, so diverse that it's difficult to believe that one person could accomplish so much, in art and in service to others. "

--Kamala Harris, District Attorney of San Francisco
